iPad Mini.

I have an iPad Mini which currently has quite an old IOS on it, which prevents me from downloading certain apps. I wondered if anyone knew how I can force through an update for the latest IOS?

You don’t.

Your iPad is, probably, too old for any upgrades/updates.


Sorry.


If you need/want an iPad with an up to date iPadOS with access to current, updated apps, then you really need to seriously consider a new iPad model OR a much, MUCH “newer” and less expensive, used iPad models, from better known, trusted Apple product/device retailers/resellers, capable of running the latest iPadOS versions. There are plenty of newer, older iPad models that can run the latest, current versions of iPadOS.



Sorry & Best of Luck to You!
